i used to run core, but im worried about the 2x fork and what that means
will the 2x take over existing BTC chain? or will there be separate chain for the 2x fork?
the chain that will be chosen as the dominatn one is that with the most nodes running up. So if you support Bitcoin Core you must run a Bitcoin Core node and accept and check transactions with it.
good luck
Yes. Take an old computer and run a node. Thousands of people should do that. Tens of thousands. Think it over.
Easier said than done my friend. Most people in third world countries have crappy and expensive internet bandwidth. I visited some of these places and most of their internet are capped and very slow. Some people in 1st world countries have no clue what these people have to deal with, to get the most basic internet access.
Someone should start a project to subsidize or to donate equipment to these countries to run their own nodes in those countries or we will end up with full nodes being centralized in 1st world countries.
